The Open Road

I snapped this photo yesterday on my way to a remote set of pens, where Marlboro Man and crew would gather 200-plus pairs, sort off the bigger calves, and ship them to a new home. The sky was brilliant—orange and pink and bright—and a light rain the night before made the pavement glisten with the colors of the sky.

I was late to the pens. I just had to stop and take this in. And afterward, I could have fiddled with the photo more, lightening the road and making it more visible. But I wanted to leave it close to how I saw it.

Here’s a high-resolution download for you. Print, use as your desktop background, or share with a buddy who likes sunrises—whatever your heart desires!

Beautiful! I actually have a photo JUST like that somewhere, but it was a sunset in Texas after a storm. I see much more of them than sunrises…. hehe

Beautiful, I love a good sunrise or sunset picture with everything else black.

Thanks for sharing this Ree – I too carry my camera with me at all times and have gathered some amazing sky-scenes, but nothing like the ones you have! I love them all! A special thanks for not “copyrighting” your pics and for sharing them freely with us to use – they are great to look at as a desktop background. Thanks again!

this is amazing.. I love pictures of sunrises and sunsets. I wish I had a better camera to capture the drama that is the Scottish sky. The openness of this shot is wonderful 🙂
